The Amael Trio, Friday 18 November
The Amael Trio from Slovenia finished their brief 3 concert tour of the south-west Midlands in Bromsgrove with a nicely varied programme of unfamiliar works and the favourite Archduke Trio. They started with two short Slovenian pieces. First the darkly lyrical Maestoso Lugubre (1935) by Skerjanc and then the more recent Something Wild for solo violin played with all the necessary virtuoso skills by Volodja Balzalorsky. More familiar and only slightly older was Oblivion by Piazzola which closed the first half. Then came the monumental Beethoven which was played with much bravura and a great sense of what each instrument was doing. Much applause led to an encore of a Glinka Elegy (I think). It certainly showed a further elegiac style with which to end their visit.
